cheapest I have seen a 500GB Laptop drive
Good deal -- Newegg have it for $61 shipped. Even poor review at Amazon but look good @ newegg.

these are model bpvt and the newegg drives are bevt. i don't know what the difference is, but i have two of the bevt drives from newegg and they run great (one in a netbook and one in a laptop). they're not the speediest drives, but they're relatively big and have given me any problems after a year.
The bpvt drive has WD's Advanced Format Technology. Which may need a jumper setting or additional software to work correctly in Windows XP.
pretty sweet deal.. i dig it
The price @ Amazon is $47.64 what gives?
